00:00:00We trace how mainstream media
00:00:02of reports, viral posts and political satire are
00:00:06shaping the conversation around war, the
00:00:09economy and these in power. We investigate claims
00:00:13of political profiteering, analyze how conflicting narratives are
00:00:17presented on television screens
00:00:19of and explore how social media users are holding leaders
00:00:23accountable by revisiting their own words through the
00:00:27sharp lens of late night satire. from the tonight
00:00:31show
00:00:31of starring jimmy fallen, we uncover the stories behind the headlines
00:00:35and the the
00:00:39award winning show that leaves no stone
00:00:42a unturned.
00:00:48as the conflict in west Asia widens, television networks are
00:00:52increasingly
00:00:53of shaping public perceptions through the language they choose and the
00:00:57narratives they promote. tonight we examine how major broadcasters
00:01:01framed the latest US and Saudi military operations and whether
00:01:04crucial facts were emitted in the process. Here are the
00:01:08of headlines. CBS jose criticism for its portrayal of casualties in
00:01:12Iraq and its
00:01:13a framing of regional armed
00:01:15of groups. All Jazira examines Saudi Arabia's military role as
00:01:19of analyst warn Riyad has entered a far more dangerous strategic
00:01:23landscape.
00:01:31As tensions continue to escalate across West Asia, media
00:01:34coverage has become just as consequential as military
00:01:38developments themselves. This week we examine how television
00:01:42networks frame a widening conflict involving the United States, Saudi
00:01:46Arabia, Iraq and Iran, and whether the language they choose shapes
00:01:49public understanding more than the facts themselves. Joining me I
00:01:53broadcast media expert Fuad Itayim,
00:01:57welcome back Fuad, thank you, thank you. farah:
00:02:01Saudi Arabia's direct
00:02:03in military involvement alongside the US has opened this dangerous
00:02:07new chapter of violence and retaliation across the
00:02:10entire region, and so we begin with the CBS news report today entitled
00:02:14latest on Iran War as Saudi forces join US
00:02:18strikes, so watch closely how the presenter's wording blurs these
00:02:21crucial uh distinctions while the guest inadvertently exposes
00:02:25the weaknesses
00:02:26of the official narrative. So let's take a look.
00:02:32Welcome back to CBS News 24/7 Prime Time. I'm Juliet Gudrich. Today
00:02:36Iran launched a barrage of missiles and American forces in the Middle East.
00:02:40This as the US and Saudis strike Terron-backed militias in
00:02:43Iraq. And then take a look at the aftermath
00:02:46of the air strikes. Buildings and cars were left destroyed by the
00:02:50US and Saudi strike on Tehron-backed militias in
00:02:53Iraq. At least 20 fighters were
00:02:55of killed and 32 others wounded in these overnight strikes. So.
00:03:00of want to bring in retired US Navy vice admiral Robert Murritt to talk more about
00:03:04this. Robert, thanks for joining us, was it risk for Saudi
00:03:08Arabia to join the war?
00:03:11Julie, I would say that
00:03:13it is, they've been largely um kept out of things with the
00:03:17focus on the other gulf states up until this point, and communicating very
00:03:20regularly with the Iranians between the Saudi
00:03:24of Arabia me and of the Iranians to try to stay about the frey to some
00:03:28degree, that's kind of changed. both in terms
00:03:30of the attacks on the Iranian surrogat forces inside
00:03:34Iraq, but also with their attacks on the Houthies over the past weeks
00:03:38because of concerns that the Saudis have about
00:03:41من all their facilities on the red
00:03:42sea. Actually
00:03:46for the repeated description of those killed as
00:03:50Iranian backed militia
00:03:52of strips away important context, do you agree? exactly, and among
00:03:56those killed were actually pilgrims gathered in Kerbala ahead
00:03:59of the... pilgrimage, which is the world's largest annual
00:04:03religious pilgrimage commemorating imam
00:04:06hussein salam, so at least 20
00:04:10million shas attend every year, including three and six million
00:04:14Iranian citizens and so making the presence of Iranian nationals they are
00:04:17not so surprising and presenting every casualty through this
00:04:21purely military lens is really misrepresenting the reality on the
00:04:25ground. okay, ironically the retired
00:04:28of admiral also acknowledged that Saudi Arabia had maintained communication with Iran
00:04:32and actually was trying to avoid direct confrontation, which
00:04:36contradicts the simplified narrative that's been uh presented in the
00:04:39report. yeah, that's that's
00:04:41of right, so it
00:04:42of brings us to our second clip which comes from aljazira English
00:04:46titled why did Saudi Arabia join US strikes on Iraq and what
00:04:50are the risks? so although the discussion is more
00:04:54of nuanced, it's still largely adopting this US strategic framing as
00:04:57vocalized by al-jaziras Osama Ben. Javid
00:05:00who is discussing the latest developments. Let's
00:05:04watch. Now a warning
00:05:08from President Trump following strikes a US airbase in
00:05:11Jordan and for Iranian advisors that were killed in the US
00:05:15Saudi strikes in Iraq. Saam bin Javid joins us here in
00:05:19Doha. The operative words there, U.S. Saudi uh,
00:05:22joint strike. This is new thing for Saudi Arabia. Where's the
00:05:26strategy here? Well, Saudi Arabia has been reluctantly
00:05:30involved in this war because the number of attacks that you've seen on Saudi
00:05:34territory, especially targeting US aircraft, US
00:05:38advisors, as well as used hardware that is based in Saudi Arabia. So the
00:05:42Saudi. have according to many sources closer to Saudies have been
00:05:45it has been very difficult to get them to not
00:05:49attack Iran in retaliation, this was the perfect opportunity
00:05:53after such a long time of waiting and patience,
00:05:56especially when this attack happened in Jazan where this Saudi
00:06:00refinery of Ramku was hit and was put out of commission, the hoossies
00:06:04on one hand claimed that they were attacking it and the Saudis actually track
00:06:08these drones coming from Iraqi territory and then they had to show...
00:06:12action and that is why you're seeing not just in one place, you're seeing across
00:06:16seven provinces, more than 20 targets hit in these
00:06:20retaliatory strikes by the saudies and the Americans, and what is
00:06:23interesting here is that it is not just the PMF, the popular
00:06:26mobilization forces, not qaib hizbullah, it is also
00:06:30Iranian advisors who were target, so that just goes to show that there is level of
00:06:34intell that the Americans and the Saudis have within Iraq, and they wanted to
00:06:38perhaps show a message to the Iraqi militias that if you get involved you'll be
00:06:41hit. 'you'll be hit hard, but there is danger here for Saudi Arabia,
00:06:45because the US is desperate to get allies involved in
00:06:49this war because it gives them backing, it gives them a cover, but there's a danger
00:06:53here of escalation, because the Iranians may will figure that,
00:06:57actually we can keep doing this in Iraq and it'll
00:07:01be just there, and at some point you've got to widen it out, or
00:07:04do you, but the the problem with this war is that it is
00:07:08regional while not being regional, the Saudis, the Amamanies, the...
00:07:12is the Emirates, they have not really all out gone against
00:07:16Iran, they have not attacked Iran directly, but the their bases
00:07:20and air spaces which have been used by US forces and hence the Iranian
00:07:24retaliation, so the Saudi strategy is to try and contain it,
00:07:28the you've seen them time and again with the various partners, the Qataries, the
00:07:32Pakistanis get involved in the back channel diplomacy, but the danger as
00:07:36you said is not just for Saudi itself, it is for oil
00:07:40exports from the entire region because it is not just the state of hermus which
00:07:44remains choked and blocked, so actually one point
00:07:48deserves particular scrutiny, so the discussion portrays Saudi
00:07:51Arabia as showing extraordinary restraint
00:07:54despite hosting foreign military facilities that are being used to launch
00:07:58operations against other states, neighboring states and regional
00:08:01states like Iran and Iraq and
00:08:04Yemen, so under international law when these kinds of attacks
00:08:08are launched from the territory of one state toward another, the territory may be
00:08:12become part the military operation, it's only natural, I mean,
00:08:16whether one agrees with retaliation or not, active
00:08:19participation, changes legal and strategic calculation, Saudi Arabia has now
00:08:23moved away from hosting military infrastructure to directly participating
00:08:27in the strikes, significantly increasing the risks it faces, and this is
00:08:31something we saw during the 40-day war as well, and now in Yemen, for
00:08:34sure, and narratives often shape perceptions before
00:08:38audiences can examine the facts for themselves, so many thanks to
00:08:42FAD. and
00:08:54accusations of political profitteering and questions over ethics in
00:08:58the holes of power, to growing concerns among American
00:09:01households over inflation, energy prices and the economic
00:09:05consequences of scalating conflicts abroad. Mainstream media
00:09:09continues to examine the gap between official narratives. and public
00:09:13reality. Tonight we look at how major outlets are reporting on
00:09:17the financial interests surrounding political figures and the economic
00:09:21pressures facing ordinary Americans. Here are the
00:09:24headlines: MS now, Donald Trump Junior's business dealings
00:09:28raise fresh questions over presidential ethics,
00:09:31PBS news, rising gas prices and
00:09:34economic uncertainty, fuel, renewed
00:09:38concerns for American
00:09:39taxpayers.
00:09:47Economic pressure, rising cost, and questions over political
00:09:51accountability have become central issues for millions of
00:09:55Americans. Tonight we examine how mainstream media outlets are
00:09:59covering allegations of political profitteering and the growing
00:10:03public concern over the economic consequences the
00:10:07escalating conflict with Iran. Joining media viewers are
00:10:10digital media experts see.
00:10:19feeling the pressure of a struggling economy and what many have been
00:10:23describing? necessary war of choice against
00:10:27Iran that has added yet another layer of financial burden, so we begin with
00:10:31an article from M.S. now that is titled nobody's cashing in on the
00:10:35presidency quite like Donald Trump Jr. written by Paul Waldman, so Waldman
00:10:38basically is focusing on how in his view, when it comes to pursuing
00:10:42taxpayer money and corruption and ethical
00:10:45concerns, Trump Jr. has reached this level unlike
00:10:49any other presid presidential relative before him,
00:10:53so he writes that don't Jr. has cemented his position as one
00:10:57the most ethically controversial presidential family members while
00:11:01his father is still in office. So the article
00:11:04goes, "In his second term, Trump had realization.
00:11:08When it came to pursuing his own business interest while President, I found
00:11:12out that nobody cared," he told the New York Times earlier this year, so now he'll make
00:11:16money wherever he can, and there is no shortage of companies, billionaires
00:11:20and foreign government. Dawn Jr. wasn't just
00:11:23going to sit by and... watch dad have all the fun, so he has
00:11:27undertaken his own frenzy of dealmaking, all of it seemingly based on the
00:11:31fact that he's the president's son. some the enterprises are joint ventures
00:11:35with the whole family. there's world liberty financial, crypto company that has
00:11:39been the vehicle for some the biggest players looking to give payoffs to the trumps
00:11:43and to get something in return. as investigative report revealed, the
00:11:47United Arab Emirates, national security advisor secretly invested half billion
00:11:51dollars in the company, so under US law government officials are restricted.
00:11:55from using public office for private financial game. the
00:11:59constitution's foreign in emolements clause
00:12:03actually and federal ethics law prohibits these
00:12:06certain forms of financial benefits from foreign interest that could create these
00:12:10kinds of conflicts of interest. okay, yeah, the controversy
00:12:14highlights this broader debate in Washington over whether existing ethics
00:12:18rules are strong enough when presidents and their families maintain
00:12:22extensive private business networks while holding. public
00:12:25office as is the case with Trump for sure Fuad, because while
00:12:29transparency becomes even more important when
00:12:33decisions made as um Asima was highlighting in
00:12:36government have economic consequences, not for one or two
00:12:40for millions. Yeah, this is exactly true fadah, and the second
00:12:44story actually that we have comes from PBS News, it's entitled American's
00:12:48confidence in US economy falls again as the Iran conflict sends gas prices
00:12:52higher by matt, so this article is... explains that economic
00:12:56confidence declined steadily as fighting
00:12:59escalated and the energy markets reacted continuously. so it
00:13:03states as fighting in the middle east escalated, the average price
00:13:07for a gallon of gas in the US started to rise again. on Tuesday, it was
00:13:11$4.10 according to the Auto Club aa. after being
00:13:15attacked by the US and Israel in late February, Iran shut down the straight of
00:13:18Hormus, through which about 1/5th the world's oil travels, causing a
00:13:22spike in gas prices. That accelerated. inflation causing
00:13:26American's inflation adjusted incomes to
00:13:28decline, so the article also adds that the
00:13:32unemployment rate declined to a low 4.2% from
00:13:364.3% in May, though the drop mostly occurred because many
00:13:40people out of work gave up looking and were no longer counted as unemployed,
00:13:44so the article also notes actually that official economic figures can
00:13:48sometimes present only part the big picture, they're
00:13:51not revealing everything with critics arguing that selective. "this kind of
00:13:55cherry picking of statistics and omitting certain
00:13:59data can hide the real impact that is felt by ordinary households
00:14:03and we've been seeing this omission, ultimately economic confidence is
00:14:07shaped not only by government numbers but by what people experience every single day
00:14:10from fuel prices to uh purchasing power and all these things okay
00:14:14therefore fuad um the gap actually between official narratives
00:14:18and public experience remains a major political
00:14:22battleground, many thanks to you Sima on these beautiful."
00:14:34speeches no longer disappeared after the applause ends,
00:14:38across social media archived videos, public records and viral
00:14:42comparison are allowing millions to sunonize
00:14:45politicians promises against their actions, fueling increasingly
00:14:49vocal debate over accountability. here are the
00:14:51headlines.
00:14:55Trump's past Medicare pledge resurfaces as Americans question his
00:14:58changing priorities, luxury spending, crypto allegations
00:15:02and the rising cost of living dominate this week's
00:15:06political conversation
00:15:08online.
00:15:15Social media has once again become the arena where
00:15:19political promises are revisited, compared and challenged
00:15:23in real time, this American users on X are
00:15:27questioning President Donald Trump's rhetoric on healthcare,
00:15:30government spending and personal wealth, as many argue that
00:15:34ordinary citizens continue to shoulder rising economic
00:15:37burdens, joining me again are social media
00:15:40experts, sim and analyst, hello and welcome
00:15:44back, see we begin with you, thank you fah, so us
00:15:48netizens say that they're no longer judging trump by his campaign
00:15:52speeches, actually, but by comparing his own words over time, like before versus
00:15:56after, so let's begin with how his position on for
00:15:59instance, medicare peer to have dramatically changed
00:16:03over time, so fact post
00:16:07trump. in 2024, we are going to protect our
00:16:11great seniors and I will never let anyone touch your Medicare, so
00:16:14let's quickly watch that together. We're going to
00:16:18protect our great seniors, and I will never let anyone touch
00:16:22your Medicare or your social
00:16:24security. So campaign
00:16:28promises often become political liabilities when
00:16:31archived clips resurface and invite all these direct comparisons with
00:16:35later policy positions. Yeah. Yeah, so now the very same account highlights Trump's more
00:16:39recent remarks, drawing actually sharp criticism over
00:16:43what many have seen as a this a complete reversal, a complete
00:16:46turnaround, so fact post Trump in 2026, we're
00:16:50fighting wars, it's not possible for us to take care of medicare,
00:16:54daycare, medicaid, all these things, this is the no more wars man
00:16:58also, so let's take a look at the video,
00:17:01because the United States can't take care of daycare, that has
00:17:05to be up to a state. "we can't take care of daycare, we're a big
00:17:09country, we have 50 states, we have all these other people, we're fighting
00:17:13wars, we can't take care of daycare, you got to let a state
00:17:17take care of daycare, and they should pay for it too, they should pay,
00:17:20they have to raise their taxes, but they should pay for it, and we could lower
00:17:24our taxes a little bit to them to make up, but we, it's not
00:17:28possible for us to take care of daycare, medicaid, medicare,
00:17:32all these individual things, they can do it a state basis, you
00:17:36can't do it a federal." "we have to take care of one thing, military
00:17:40protection. the contrast
00:17:44between these two clips, seima, explains
00:17:47clearly why this comparison has spread so widely
00:17:51across social media platforms. and our next post actually
00:17:55shifts from healthcare, which we just saw to presidential spending, and
00:17:59because users online have been criticizing what they have been
00:18:02describing as misplaced priorities actually during difficult
00:18:06economic times. so the patriotic blonde,
00:18:09yeah, breck warsham, so trump reveals that the white house has ordered
00:18:13250 new catalyc escalades for the presidential
00:18:16motorcade. our guys are very spoiled, they
00:18:19like the escalade, so do i. americans can't afford food or gas and he's literally
00:18:23laughing in our face. so here's Trump bragging. let's take a look at this
00:18:27video. right here in Michigan General Motors
00:18:31is expanding operations its factory
00:18:35zero. do you know what factory zero is? what the hell? what does that mean mary factory so you can
00:18:39have in Detroit to produce some of America's
00:18:43most iconic vehicles including the
00:18:46chevy well I hear it's good silvarado
00:18:49right silvarado really hot
00:18:55the GMC serra the world famous hummer I got to
00:18:59look at some these in fact I said to Mary how about sending a
00:19:02couple and one and only the
00:19:06escalate we all I think 250 escalates, right?
00:19:10We ordered 250
00:19:11escalates.
00:19:16That's so we look sharp in those cavalcades,
00:19:19you know, we look sharp in those escalades. Our guys are very
00:19:22spoiled, they're very spoiled, they like the escalate, so do I, they
00:19:26were great to deal with general motors, they make it literally 250
00:19:30them, and it was about time.
00:19:34So for lot of critics uh, this symbolism matters and these.
00:19:38wild displays of luxury can quickly become politically damaging
00:19:42when inflation and household costs are dominating public
00:19:45concerns, especially during this unnecessary war that Trump has
00:19:49burdened the American people with. yeah, and this actually brings us to our final
00:19:53post that focuses on allegations of financial
00:19:56misconduct with the critics online arguing that
00:19:59personal enrichment has become inseparable from public
00:20:06say senator Chris. This is
00:20:08H HQ news now. We know this is the most corrupt administration in
00:20:12American history. What I think not all Americans
00:20:16appreciate is that the crypto corruption is the lion's share the corruption coming out the
00:20:20Trump White House. Trump has increased his net worth by 2.2 billion dollars
00:20:24last year alone. 2.2 billion while Americans are struggling to make ends
00:20:27meet and more than half of that 1.4 billion of those profits
00:20:31come from crypto scams. So let's take a
00:20:34look. "We know this
00:20:38is the most corrupt administration in American
00:20:42history. What I think not all Americans
00:20:44appreciate is that the crypto corruption is the
00:20:48lion share." the corruption coming out the
00:20:52Trump White House, so Senator Blumenfall
00:20:55said, President Trump has increased his net
00:20:59worth by $2.2 billion dollars last
00:21:03year alone, 2.2 billion dollars
00:21:07while Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and more than
00:21:11half of that, $1.4 billion of
00:21:15those profits come from crypto
00:21:17scams. Senator Blumental. mentioned uh one
00:21:21the major ones, which was this Trump meme
00:21:24coin, that individual we heard who got
00:21:28scammed, was one of almost
00:21:321 million Americans who were taken
00:21:35advantage of by Donald Trump, in fact about 1
00:21:39million Americans lost $3.8
00:21:42billion dollars their money to the
00:21:46Trump Memecoin scam.
00:21:52so this proves that social media doesn't simply just react to political
00:21:56events anymore, it preserves a permanent public record, it's become like an
00:22:00archive, yes, and it's very important to highlight, fuad that
00:22:03whether these criticisms translate into lasting
00:22:07political consequences remains to be seen, but they
00:22:11clearly demonstrate how social media continues to preserve, amplify
00:22:15and scrutinize the words and actions of those in power. many
00:22:19thanks again to
00:22:33every geopolitical crisis lies set of numbers that reveal
00:22:36its real impact on people's daily lives. tonight we examine
00:22:40the financial consequences of rising energy costs in the United
00:22:44States as global markets react to growing instability. here are
00:22:48the headlines. Oil sourpasses $100
00:22:52per barrel as straight of hormos disruptions push US
00:22:56fuel coast higher. Billions in extra
00:22:59household expenses, fuel economic anxiety as
00:23:03inflation and consumer confidence takes a
00:23:05hit.
00:23:12Energy prices are often among the first indicators of how geopolitical
00:23:16conflicts affect ordinary people as US wars. West Asia
00:23:20continues to disrupt global markets. Americans on the other hand,
00:23:24American consumers are now facing higher fuel calls, rising
00:23:28inflation pressures and growing concerns about the economic
00:23:31consequences of prolonged instability. Joining me
00:23:35are senior researcher Hiba Murad and analyst Sima Itayim. Welcome both. We
00:23:39begin with you Hiba. Thank you, Farah. The numbers tell a story that
00:23:43goes beyond the headlines. Yes, the war Trump started with Iran has
00:23:47triggered major energy shock. pushing crude oil
00:23:51prices above $100 per barrel and
00:23:54sending gasoline gasoline uh prices across the United States
00:23:58sharkly higher. now according to market data, the
00:24:02national average price for regular gasoline reached between
00:24:06$4.06 and $4.11 per
00:24:10gallon in late July 2026. now CNBC's
00:24:14fuel market analysis reported the following: the national average
00:24:17price at the pump was 4.0 $6 a gallon on
00:24:21Wednesday up 4.4% from
00:24:25$3.89 a week ago according to aa. now
00:24:29the economic economic impact has been like really
00:24:32significant. a brown university study estimated that
00:24:36American consumers have spent additional
00:24:39$41 billion dollars on fuel since the crisis
00:24:43began with the average household absorbing between
00:24:47$316 and $450. is an extra energy cost,
00:24:51this is very high number, and you know these figures that you are
00:24:54sharing, they're demonstrating how foreign policy decisions can very
00:24:58quickly translate into domestic economic pressures, so for
00:25:02families dealing for example with the higher living cost, even a small
00:25:05increase at the gas pond can have major impact, can change
00:25:09everything and can be felt exactly, sema and the disruption here
00:25:13is not only about gasoline, according to the sources, the straight
00:25:17of hormo is one the world's most important energy
00:25:21corridors has also seen shipping disruptions
00:25:24affecting around 20% of global oil and liquified
00:25:28natural gas supplies, that's major. analysts estimate that
00:25:32approximately 500 million barrels of crude oil have been
00:25:36removed from global circulation since the crisis began. can you imagine that? these
00:25:40pressures at one point also hibba appear to be affecting public
00:25:44confidence correct as well. very correct. the AP consumer
00:25:47confidence index dropped to 90%. 2.8 in
00:25:51uh July, now reflecting growing concerns as energy
00:25:55costs continue to rise, meanwhile farah, the Bureau of Labor
00:25:59Statistics recorded inflation climbing to 3.5
00:26:028% as energy prices searched, okay? so this shows that the
00:26:06economic consequences of war are not limited just to governments
00:26:09or to markets because they're reaching and spilling
00:26:12directly over into households, and this is affecting
00:26:16transportation, it's affecting food prices and everyday
00:26:19purchasing power as
00:26:21a whole,
00:26:21and when citizens actually feel those pressures, and as we have seen
00:26:25throughout the history, economic issues often become
00:26:29political issues on the long term, absolutely, absolutely. the broader
00:26:33lesson for the from these figures is that energy security remains
00:26:37deeply connected to global stability, so uh any
00:26:41disruption in key supply roots can create riple
00:26:43effects that reach consumers thousands of miles away. okay, so
00:26:47therefore the doesn't matter any. yes, therefore, as you've been highlighting,
00:26:51the numbers reveal the human cost behind economic
00:26:55headlines. many thanks to Hiba Murad for joining us. stay
00:27:07In the world of American late night television, political
00:27:11satire has become a powerful tool for challenging leaders
00:27:15and questioning official narratives. Jimmy Fallen is an
00:27:18American comedian, television host and the presenter the tonight
00:27:22show starring Jimmy Fallen, where political figures, especially
00:27:26Donald Trump have frequently become subjects of comedy,
00:27:30astensions over the war on Iran. and continues, late night
00:27:34house have turned Trump's own statements into material
00:27:38for satire and criticism.
00:27:43decided to back off in his fight against the Islamic Republic of Iran
00:27:46or as he calls it, the Islamic Republic of
00:27:50Japan. Yeah,
00:27:54it happened after he met with his military advisors a high level
00:27:57too, or is he put it, a high level too,
00:28:01although it's fading. going to fade fast, he he's trapped
00:28:05himself a complicated foreign war, just like many of our American
00:28:08ancestors, or as he calls them, our American
00:28:12answers, but Trump promised that he
00:28:15won't give up, and across the world he'll make freedom roar, or as he
00:28:19put it, make freedom
00:28:21raw,
00:28:27anyway, Trump is flailing and he needs help, he might as well ask himself, what
00:28:31was Saudi Arabia and... do or he put it, Saudi Arabia and
00:28:35Russia,
00:28:40I hope that help. Ladies
00:28:44and gentlemen, with that we conclude our expose for tonight right here on Press TV, until
00:28:47next week, question, the headline, trace the source and never surrender your
00:28:51judgment.
00:29:11قرار الوقوف الى جانب اخواننا في غزه هو

00:30:19Yemen.
00:30:24Yemen's foreign ministry says no coalition can deny the Yemani

00:30:33Mecca,
00:30:37and finally Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson has hit back at
00:30:40Trump's claim of taking Iran oil saying, before you claim the spoils
00:30:44of war, you have to win the
00:30:46war.
